In this paper, we consider a packet scheduler exploiting multiuser diversity in a wireless network with AMC (Adaptive Modulation and Coding), and propose a packet level performance...
Despite the availability of video-on-demand (VoD) services in a number of cities around the world, large-scale deployment of VoD services in a metropolitan area is still economical...
The paper presents a method to compute performance metrics (response time, sojourn time, throughput) on Unified Modeling Language design. The method starts with UML design annota...
The paper presents Heterogeneous MPI (HeteroMPI), an extension of MPI for programming high-performance computations on heterogeneous networks of computers. It allows the applicati...
This work introduces a method for instrumenting applications, producing execution traces, and visualizing multiple trace instances to identify performance features. The approach p...
A performance model for the interaction of agents in mobile agent systems is presented. Two interaction models, namely the remote procedure call and the agent migration are conside...
Network performance analysis relies mainly on two models: a workload model and a performance model. This paper proposes to use histograms for characterising the arrival workloads ...
Modern disk drives read-ahead data and reorder incoming requests in a workload-dependent fashion. This improves their performance, but makes simple analytical models of them inade...

Abstract. The development of network-aware applications, i.e. applications that dynamically adapt to network conditions, has had some success in the domain of multimedia applicatio...
Performance modeling and evaluation techniques are essential when designing and implementing distributed software systems. Constructing performance models for such systems can req...
